Roanoke Elementary School

Summary:

Roanoke Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 419 students in grades K-5 in Roanoke, Indiana, which is part of the Huntington County Community School Corporation district. This high-performing school consistently outperforms its district and the state of Indiana on standardized tests, with particularly strong results in 3rd and 4th grade.

Roanoke Elementary stands out for its academic excellence, with 44.08% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 57.35% proficient or better in math, compared to district averages of 36.37% and 40.42%, respectively. The school also has lower chronic absenteeism rates and a smaller percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the district and state. While Roanoke Elementary spends more per student than the district average, its performance exceeds nearby schools like Horace Mann Elementary and Lincoln Elementary, which have lower proficiency rates despite higher spending.

The school's success appears to be driven by factors beyond just funding and demographics, suggesting effective teaching and learning practices. Roanoke Elementary's predominantly white student population is less diverse compared to nearby schools, which could be a factor in its strong academic performance. However, the school's lower chronic absenteeism rate and free/reduced lunch percentage suggest a more stable and engaged student population, which may also contribute to its academic success.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
